"We were here for a family reunion on Fathers Day. I was going to give 3 stars but having had no response to 2 feedback emails that I sent I have downgraded it. This is the honest feedback that I sent: I’d like to thank you for your help in putting our family meet together. We were pleased with the comfort and ambience of the area where we were sat. We also felt the staff were pleasant and courteous. The meals and the drinks received a mixed feedback. We felt that the vegetables and sauces were very good although a group of 4 were given a small dish of green vegetables to share. Some time later a request for more green vegetables was dealt with but the timing was not good. The fish and chips were commonly well received. I’m afraid that the other aspects of food and drink and most importantly ORGANISATION were poor. When we arrived a waiter came over to take orders of the people that had not placed an advanced order. 2 people at one end of the table asked about the ordered drinks and had to say what they ordered and their order was delivered. I was a little concerned that 2 coffees ordered for the sweets of Peter and Jenny were bought with those 2 drinks but they seemed OK with taking them then and despite all the complaints in this email I don’t want to find fault. At my end of the table the waiter told me that he would come to me with my order but he must have forgotten. Starters were brought for those few that ordered them and a waitress eventually came through to enquire if everyone was OK. I said me and my wife were still waiting for our drinks order. After another 10 minutes someone cam back with the 2 decaf flat whites that we ordered for the end of the meal. Unfortunately the waiter, who was clearly distressed to be told to take them back and bring the correct drinks order, wished to engage with me in a disagreement about where the fault for this lay in front of all my family. This did upset me. Eventually my ale and my wife’s wine was delivered to us – it had taken over 90 minutes to arrive and both the ale was tainted and the red wine not pleasant. In addition the 2 pre ordered drinks were brought for a second time! The poor organisation also meant the meals did not arrive in good time. After nearly 2 hours most people had not had a bite to eat. The meat was very poor. The beef was inedible (very tough) and the poor standards of both meats was fed back to a waitress. By the time that sweets arrived staff was particularly flustered. The sweets came so late that 3 of the people that had ordered ice creams had to leave to catch their train. Again our drinks were forgotten so I asked for the 2 decaf flat whites. These were eventually brought but they were luke warm. My wife felt embarrassed for the staff so she drunk hers anyway as she did not want another accusatory conversation in front of our group. I had to ask for mine to be replaced as I felt that it was unpleasant. That concludes my feedback although I should say that there were other deficiencies. You have been warned!"

"Our friends invited us to join them for Sunday lunch and we weren't disappointed, our meals were delicious. We had the creamy garlic mushrooms to start, followed by the pork loin roast for me, which even had a lovely bit of crackling, and my husband...had the roast chicken. We both agreed that our meals were fab and the service was excellent! We will definitely be back for more of this lovely food in the future!"

"If you are looking for a really GOOD Sunday Lunch and feeling welcomed but not rushed then I highly recommend Dyke’s End Pub. All the food was freshly made. The plates were lovely and warm on a cold day. The meal was hot! We tried the Pork with deliciously crunchy crackling, roasted potatoes, carrots, parsnips, Yorkshire Pudding, with a separate dish of Broccoli Cabbage entwined. AND with an added feast of Cauliflower Cheese was sublime. The Desserts of Sticky Toffee Pudding which was fantastically fluffy and the melt in your mouth toffee sauce and the refreshing coolness of the ice cream was an excellent combination. I chose Apple and Blackberry Crumble which was so fresh with the addition of Vanilla Ice Cream. Mmmmm The Drinks…Elderflower Gin Fevertree Tonic was so refreshingly delicious and relaxing. Followed by a variety of good coffees. You must book! I saw a family arrive on the spot and they were offered Pie and a Pint which they came out very happy. Our Rating is 5/5"

"We have been here a couple of times in the last few months. Both times the food was very good, and both times the staff were very friendly. We went without booking both times, both times were when they just opened and we got a seat, but towards the end the restaurant was getting full. I would recommend, and we will be going back. The food is very good and prices are reasonable."

"I was looking forward to a relaxing birthday, so instead of cooking, I decided to order from Bengal Fox. When ordering through UberEats, some restaurants handle their own delivery, which means you cannot track the driver. In this situation, you have to rely on what they tell you. I placed my order at 5:15pm and was informed that the latest delivery time would be 5:55pm. When I called at 5:55pm, I was told it would be an additional 10 minutes. No problem, it was still early. We waited and called again at 6:10pm, 15 minutes later, and were told to wait another 10 minutes. The person who answered the phone then abruptly hung up on me and did not pick up any of my subsequent calls. So, I called from my wife's phone and was informed at 6:30pm that there would be an additional 10-minute delay due to an issue on the motorway. Convinced that the food was not going to arrive, I decided to cancel the order and received a refund from Uber. However, at 7:05pm (110 minutes since placing the order), the delivery driver arrived at my door. Unfortunately, we had already cooked some frozen food for dinner, so we had to turn him away on my birthday."
